I know some people pull the original engines and but in a hopped up one. Obviously keeping the original motor but "saving" it.2nd82H/O said:Maybe a dumb question but do you think it will hurt the value of an 83 H/O to do some of these mods ? I have an 83 H/O and would like more hp but don't want to replace the original motor. Some of these examples seem to be what I'm looking for , not a lot of hp but good enough for street cruising . any opinions?
